If you bought the DVD, you need to install a DVD player and watch it. Errors about copyright protection usually mean you don't have a DVD decoder installed, unless it's somehow dodgy in which case you need to purchase it.

Nope because if that was the case people would buy a movie, make 100 copies and sell them Legally, which is why they dont allow ANYONE to copy movies.
 
I've never met someone who backs up their own movies. You have to beat people over the head with a baseball bat to get them to back up their harddrives...

You have to admit, though.. It was a nice try.
 
Hey if you like the movie that much you could always contact the movie company and purchase the rights for a few million :D
 
Like any CD, you are allowed to make a legal backup on most disks assuming you have the original disk. It is broken easily, but on the assumption that you own the DVDs and just want to make a private copy, whilst still obtaining the original disk while you have the ripped copy on your computer - then it's fine for most.

It's a common misconception, but if you read the WARNING and Agreements on movies and software, it specifically says that making a copy of that disc is strictly forbidden.
